The guy found in the container in Italy may have been engaged in a test "dry run" for smuggling a WMD into a US city.
Remember, these guys really believe in dry runs, and getting the logistics nailed down. The 9-11 team did repeated dry runs.
A man might be sent along with a WMD and a hand GPS unit to detonate it when the container arrives in the target port, or as a backup to detonate it if discovered.
Even without a nuke, you could fit a LOT of Sarin in a 40X10X8 box. Or the "mother of all dirty nukes" built around a 40' long HE bomb.
They also like to deliver more than one blow on the same day. The two US embassies in Africa were attacked (1997) by huge truck bombs on the same day. The embassies were in Kenya and Tanzania.
4 planes were hijacked on 9-11-2001 and there may have been more. 3 of these jet planes hit their targets.
If these scum get to nuke us, I would say it will be more than one and done simultaneously before we can react
Roger that on the dangers of a cargo ship carrying a weapon of mass destruction into the city. The guy in the container was IMHO what gave the whole thing away. If instead they had merely shipped somethin that was the right size and weight they could have had their dry run. The GPS signal might not get through the container but there could be alternative means of detonation. I do not really wish to go into them on an open forum. let them do it themselves.
